Faculty Affairs

Faculty Affairs partners with our Medical School departments and centers, the School of Health Professions, and the Peter O’Donnell Jr. School of Public Health in the management/execution of a variety of faculty transactions throughout a faculty member's lifecycle.

We provide guidance on and execution of a variety of academic processes that faculty may encounter. This requires synthesizing requested information and applying institutional and UT System policies where applicable.

We also serve as a bridge to improve communication among our schools to best meet the needs of the UT Southwestern community.
